Testing And Improving An Optimization-Based Digital Colorblindness Corrective Filter, Zachary Kenneth Mcintyre
Senior Projects Fall 2020
Computers often communicate essential information via color which is lost to colorblind users. In order to address this information loss, designers and computer scientists have created a variety of different correction methods to improve computer accessibility. One such method was created by Luke Jefferson and Richard Harvey in their 2006 paper, “Accommodating Color Blind Computer Users” which consists of a difference histogram, differences of key colors, optimization and interpolation to adjust images for specific types of congenital colorblindness. I have recreated their algorithm as well as their original test images. I then conducted extensive tests on challenging images to examine …

The Spiral Model For Generative Harmony, Jackson Guy Spargur
Senior Projects Spring 2020
Generative music is a broad and well-explored field, in which researchers have attempted various approaches at creating algorithmic models for the creation of music. Researchers may attempt to model the composition of melody, or of musical phrase structure, or, as is the focus of this paper, the harmonization of multiple voices. I use as the core of my model Elaine Chew’s “Spiral Array”, outlined in her 2000 thesis “Towards a Mathematical Model Of Tonality”. Chew’s applications for this model were all analytical, gaining insights about human-composed pieces of music by running them through her model. My project is comprised of …
From Rural To Urban: Understanding America Through The Census, R. Owen Hartman
From Rural To Urban: Understanding America Through The Census, R. Owen Hartman
Senior Projects Spring 2020
The first ever Senior Project to combine Historical Studies and Computer Science. Examining United States Census data from 1870 to 1930, "From Rural to Urban" explores the changes in American life that occurred during the industrial revolution at the turn of the 20th century.
